Sapporo Transportation Museum

Sapporo Transportation Museum, Transport museum in Minami-ku, Japan.

The Sapporo Transportation Museum is a two-storey building with an orange corrugated facade under the elevated tracks of the Namboku subway line, just south of Jieitai-Mae Station in Minami-ku. Its white sign band reads 交通資料館 in black characters. Inside, a 471 m² hall holds a wooden two-axle tram from the Taisho era, the 10形22号, plus tickets, parts and route maps; outdoor stands keep ten trams, five subway cars and four buses.

The museum opened in May 1975, after a trial opening during the Sapporo Snow Festival that February, on the site of a former tram depot in Minami-ku. Plans grew out of the 1972 decision to abolish the city tram network, gathering old cars and electrical equipment kept at Horokita depot and the transport bureau lobby. A city bus exhibition room was added on 21 July 2007. The museum closed from September 2017 for renewal work under the Namboku subway line and reopened on 1 May 2024.

The museum keeps a wooden two-axle tram of the 10 series, car 22, from the Taisho era, along with tickets, parts, route maps and vehicle models. In the welcome corner visitors pose for photos against panels of the municipal subway and tram, and a corner presents the staff who keep the lines running, with uniforms and tools on show.

The museum occupies the space under and beside the elevated Nanboku Line tracks just south of Jieitai-Mae Station, with the two-storey main building on the west side of the viaduct and the outdoor yards across the road to the south. The indoor hall and the outdoor displays are separate, so allow time to walk between them.

The 2007 municipal bus exhibition room added two retired city buses to the collection. Earlier, some exhibits in poor condition were removed. The outdoor vehicles were once parked perpendicular to the elevated track, then rearranged to stand parallel to it.
